Civic Responsibilities
As an emerging adult I think the we all have civic duties we are obligated to take, the community has given to us students in the transformation stage from teen to adult. One civic duty we must follow is registering to vote, as well register for nation selective services. It’s not an option it is an obligation, we have to give back what the community as well as the country has given to us, whether that duty is signing up for selective services or registering to vote. It is the method in which emerging adults can give back. Civic duties are not limited to these 2 options; they range from many other services, such as showing up for court to participate in a case, paying taxes. I wouldn’t call them civil responsibilities but rather civil obligations that as emerging adults we must follow and obey. In contrast to pursuing my own ambitions as well as goals, I feel I need to from time to time give back to my community. Either by feeding the homeless, donating blood, or hosting fundraisers for a cause. I do this because I need to give back as I said before, to those who have given, and in many cases give to those who can’t give. Rendering my services at full potential for the better quality state of my community, state or country. As I continue with my life trying to accomplish my dreams, I will continue to give back any way shape or form, a small contribution goes along way. I feel more people need to take this into consideration and do the same as others have, take the responsibilities that we hold and at make an attempt to help out. As we grow older the larger responsibilities we have, and the greater we should give back to our community, so younger generations can see these responsibilities and adopt them into their lives as they become older.
